Main causes of erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for long enough to have satisfactory sexual intercourse.

When we talk about dysfunction, we do not mean a lack of sexual appetite, premature ejaculation or curvature of the penis when erect, we mean a disorder affecting the stiffness of the penis.

ERECTIONS

Erections are the result of a complex process involving the vascular and nervous systems, as well as hormones. In response to sexual stimulation, whether visual, tactile or auditory, the muscles of the penis relax and allow blood to enter, causing the penis to expand and increase in size.

However, both physical and psychological problems can impede its normal function and lead to erectile dysfunction.

TYPES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

• Organic: due to vascular or hormonal abnormalities or lesions.
• Psychogenic: caused by psychological factors with no physical impediment.
• Combined organic/psychogenic: caused by a combination of organic and psychological factors.

THE CAUSES BEHIND IT

The main risk factors for erectile dysfunction or impotence include ageing, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, but there are other causes of erectile dysfunction or impotence as well. It is important to know them in order to get the treatment right. Chronic diseases These are long-lasting diseases that generally progress slowly. The ones associated with erectile dysfunction are: diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, depression, liver failure and psychotic disorders. Surgeries Surgical procedures associated with the onset of erectile dysfunction include surgeries in the pelvic area, e.g. for prostate, bladder or rectal cancers, which may damage nerves or blood vessels in the area. Drugs Erectile dysfunction can be a side effect of medicines used to treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer, depression and insomnia. Furthermore, in most cases it is not possible to withdraw the treatment, so it is important to find a treatment for erectile dysfunction as well as treating the disease. Psychological factors Situations such as: having suffered a traumatic sexual experience, occasional erectile failures, relationship problems or even infidelity can lead to the onset of erectile dysfunction in the short or long term. It is estimated that between 20% and 30% of cases of erectile dysfunction are caused by a psychological factor. Diabetes This is the disease that most commonly causes erectile dysfunction. Up to 30-75% of diabetics may suffer from this problem at some point in the course of their disease. Managing diabetes properly reduces the likelihood of it occurring. High blood pressure Fortunately, almost all patients with high blood pressure find a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Regularly checking your blood pressure, adhering to prescribed medication and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits reduces the likelihood of it occurring. Heart problems If you suffer from heart disease, it is important to keep control of all the risk factors associated with the disease (cholesterol, smoking, blood pressure or blood sugar levels), adhere to the prescribed treatments and lead a healthy lifestyle to prevent the onset of impotence. Smoking and alcohol A rise in the number of cases of erectile dysfunction has been observed among smokers, and both chronic and occasional alcohol consumption can also lead to erectile dysfunction. Emotional disorders or depression Overwork, anxiety, stress or depression are all factors that can lead to erectile dysfunction.
